In the context of the "visual age", many artistic creations often attract attention with "big", but the inherent ideological expression and artistic content of small artworks cannot be ignored. Throughout the history of art, it is not difficult to find that among the vast sea of great works, there are both large and small works of beauty. The popular "Dutch School of Fine Arts" in the 17th century and the works of its representative figures, Vermeer and Rembrandt, still have their charm today.
